Set the ignition timing, check for correct operation of the vacuum advance (if you have one) on the distributor.
 
In addition to above.
Plug wire condition?
Cap and rotor condition?
Checked for vaccum leaks?
I just fixed an intermittent misfire from a bad plug wire. Took me awhile to find it. Wiggling the plug wires and getting a shock from one was how.
It sounds like a timing issue by your description.
